Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 2 Tower

in the room.

In front of Xie Shen, Deng Bin took out tools such as fire tongs, tweezers, and a knife from the secret compartment on the wall behind him.

While fiddling with the tools, he said to Xie Shen, "Oh, I forgot to tell you: this place does not provide food or drink, so people who come here will not only be tortured, but sometimes they will starve to death, die of thirst, and then be resurrected and continue to starve."

After saying that, he observed Xie Shen's reaction with anticipation.

But despite Deng Bin's threats, Xie Shen remained expressionless from beginning to end.

"Ok?"

This made Deng Bin look at Xie Shen with a higher opinion.

After he uttered a sigh, he couldn't help but praise: "Brother, you have a really good mental state, but I don't know how long you can hold on."

As he said that, he raised the tongs in his hand and hit Xie Shen in the chest.

'Squeak'

In an instant, the smell of burnt meat filled the entire room.

A shocking purple-black wound appeared on Xie Shen's chest where he was burned by the fire tongs.

"How about it?"

Dunbin was very satisfied with the result.

A mad look flashed across his eyes again, and he said to Xie Shen with a hint of excitement, "Are you willing to confess now?"

However, what Deng Bin found incredible was that even after being burned at the stake, Xie Shen still had an expressionless face.

Just like.
"Don't you feel any pain?"

Deng Bin's eyes widened.

He leaned forward, getting closer to Xie Shen: "I can see that you didn't seem to be pretending just now. You really can't feel the pain. How did you do that?"

"Ah"

Xie Shen chuckled but said nothing.

——After he came back to life, although he had lost all his cultivation, the strength of his soul was still comparable to that of a cultivator in the Yuanying period.

This allows him to close off his five senses through willpower alone.

So as long as Xie Shen wanted, he would never feel any pain. Physical torture alone would not have any effect on Xie Shen.

"you"

Deng Bin was shocked by Xie Shen's ability to ignore pain.

He was anxious.

Even when he was facing the mechanical arm and was about to be electrocuted, he had never been as excited as he was at this moment: "Can you teach me this?"

Deng Bin knelt on the ground without hesitation and said in an extremely humble manner: "Please, I really beg you! As long as you can teach me, I will do anything you want me to do!"

The reason why Xie Shen was able to close his five senses by willpower was only because he had practiced hard in the world of cultivation for hundreds of years, and not because he relied on some tricks or methods.

Therefore, this ability cannot be passed on to others.

However, Xie Shen did not state this directly.

He took the opportunity to ask Deng Bin: "You want to learn my magic so much. I guess it's because you will be tortured like me?"

"Yes."

To please Xie Shen, Deng Bin said truthfully: "This kind of torture is in rotation. Now I am torturing you, but after 10 or 20 years, someone else may torment me. Then after another 10 or 20 years, it will be my turn to torment someone else, and it will never stop."

Xie Shen was puzzled and asked: "Then why do you do this?" "I don't know."

Dunbin responded positively: "I only know that this place is called 'The Tower', and that all those imprisoned in the 'Tower' will be tortured like this forever. The person who has stayed in the 'Tower' the longest is said to have been imprisoned for more than 2,000 years."

"More than two thousand years?" Xie Shen took a breath of cold air: "Even if the people here can be resurrected all the time, they will be driven crazy after a long time, right?"

Dunbin said: "Yes, they will go crazy, but if a crazy person dies and is resurrected, he will return to normal."

Good guy.

Xie Shen found it even more incredible after hearing this:
It seems that the magic that can resurrect people can not only help them rebuild their physical bodies, but also refresh the mental state of the resurrected people.

Under the effect of the resurrection technique, the consciousness of the resurrected person will always remain clear and he cannot go crazy even if he wants to.

And then the torture continued endlessly.
It is said that there is great terror between life and death.

But now it seems that for the prisoners in this "tower", living is terrifying, and death is a luxury.

It is not difficult to see from this that Xie Shen's 'method of ignoring pain' has great appeal to Deng Bin.

No wonder this person's attitude changed so quickly, and no matter what Xie Shen asked, he would answer truthfully.

Now that he had the means to control the other party, Xie Shen took advantage of the situation and asked, "I have another question: If you need to know a person's name before you can revive him, then how did you revive me if you don't know my name?"

"Brainless method."

Dunbin explained: "If you want to revive a person, you don't necessarily have to know the person's name. As long as you know the person's birth and death years or his or her life experiences to a level that is unambiguous, you can use the geometric patterns on the ground to revive the person."

Deng Bin continued, "For example, when I resurrected you, the prerequisite I gave was: a male surnamed Xie, born at 1999:2 am on February 23, 1. If you were the only person with the surname Xie born within this minute, then the condition I gave would be considered 'unambiguous', and you could be resurrected, even though I've never seen you."

"And if I fail to be resurrected, I will change my surname again, until all the surnames have been tried."

“再之后我就会把时间换成1999年2月23日1时14分，然后再继续用百家姓去一个个试。”

have to say.

Although the exhaustive method mentioned by Deng Bin has some flavor of "Yugong moving mountains", it is indeed feasible.

As long as there is enough time and patience, it is not impossible to resurrect all human beings who have ever existed from ancient times to the present.

in the room.

Just as Xie Shen and Deng Bin were talking, an electronic display screen on the wall suddenly lit up.

The display screen showed the value [53%].

Seeing this value, Deng Bin said nervously: "No, I can't chat with you anymore. Otherwise, once the value on the screen drops below 50%, I will be in trouble."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shen asked puzzledly.

Deng Bin did not answer, but put the fire tongs in the secret compartment of the room, and after reheating it, he hit Xie Shen again.

At this moment, the value on the screen immediately increased from the original [53%] to [54%].

"See?" Dunbin explained, "Once I torture you, the value on the screen will go up. My job is to make sure the value on the screen is always above 50%. If I fail to do that, I will be electrocuted to death by the robot arm like before."

Deng Bin thought for a moment and said, "In order to complete the task, I will have to torture you for about 15 hours every day. It is difficult for a normal person to survive these 15 hours, so you will be killed almost every day."

“Then it’s just me.”

"Because there is no food or drink here, I have to commit suicide every two days, otherwise I will be too hungry and thirsty to bear it."

By this point, Xie Shen's face had been burned beyond recognition by the tongs.

The disgusting smell of burning soon filled the entire room.
